3.presented  

4. warmly 

5.with

6.another  

7.saying   

8.it   

9.sweeter  

10.that

【解析】

试题分析：

1.The   这里the特指前一句提及的小溪里的水，故使用the water。

2. who 本句是定语从句，先行词是an elder，后面句子中缺少主语，故使用who在句中做主语。

3. presented  本文叙述的是过去发生的事情，基本时态是一般过去时。

4.warmly 用副词warmly修饰动词smile。

5.with   介词with表示伴随的状态。

6.another  本句是指老师让另外一个学生品尝这个水。Another另外一个。

7.saying   本句中的动词say与句子主语he构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词的形式。

8.it    it指代上句提及的the water。

9.sweeter  这个水里含有很浓厚的爱意，所以没有什么比它更甜。使用比较级的形式。

10.that  本句中的that引导是一个同位语从句，指代前面的lesson内容。
